    INTRODUCTION

    BACKGROUND:

    a) Background: Kerala has always prided itself for its high literacy
    rate and the state has also been confident in the fact that its crime-
    reporting figures are more thorough and reliable, compared with
    others
    b) The excise department came up with the proposal after it found
    that drug abuse among schoolchildren , youth and others.Easy
    access to narcotic drug and psychotropic substances even to school
    students had become a cause for concern for the officials.
    c) The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act is
    the main statute governing drug-related cases in the country. From
    a total of 508 cases registered in 2008, cases under the NDPS Act
    in Kerala have risen steadily over the years. In 2017, the
    provisional figure of cases filed was 9,242, and the first three
    months of 2018 saw 2,391 drug-related cases being filed.
    Hence de addiction centre is proposed by the government

    What Is drug

    A drug is any substance that causes a change in an


    organism's physiology or psychology when consumed.
    Drugs are typically distinguished from food and substances that
    provide nutritional support. Consumption of drugs can be
    via inhalation, injection, smoking, ingestion, absorption via a patch on
    the skin, or dissolution under the tongue.

    different types of addiction

    Alcohol is the commonest substance that Is misused.Other drugs


    include opium,heroin and some medical drugs such as tablets and
    cough syrups.Cannabis is another community used substance
    stimulants such as cocaine and amphitamines and hallucinations such
    as LSD are another drug that are misused by adults.
    Opioid
    CNS- stimulant
    CNS-depressant
    Cannabinoid
    Inhalant
    Psychedelic
    Empathogenic stimulant

    drug abuse

    Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is a patterned use of


    a drug in which the user consumes the substance in amounts or with
    methods which are harmful to themselves or others, and is a form of
    substance-related disorder.
    Drug misuse is a term used commonly
    when prescription medication with sedative, anxiolytic, analgesic,
    or stimulant properties are used for mood alteration or intoxication
    ignoring the fact that overdose of such medicines can sometimes have
    serious adverse effects. It sometimes involves drug diversion from the
    individual for whom it was prescribed

    why do people take drugs


    People take drugs because they want to change something about their
    lives.

    Here are some of the reasons young people have given for taking
    drugs:

     To fit in
     To escape or relax
     To relieve boredom
     To seem grown up
     To rebel
     To experiment
    They think drugs are a solution. But eventually, the drugs become
    the problem.

    Difficult as it may be to face one’s problems, the consequences of


    drug use are always worse than the problem one is trying to solve
    with them. The real answer is to get the facts and not to take drugs in
    the first place.

    Drug De- addiction

    Drug addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease,


    characterized by compulsive drug
    seeking and use, and by neurochemical and molecular
    changes in the brain.
     Drug addiction is becoming a major health problem in
    India with some estimates indicating that as many as 15
    million people in India could become addicts by the end of
    2004.
    Mental illness and life suffers

     Mental illnesses are the most devastating and disabling


    of the diseases, affecting the
    mankind, giving its victims and their families a life of
    suffering, trauma and travail.
     Nearly one percent of Humanity is suffering from this
    malady, of which nearly 20% would become chronic. In
    the context of our country it means nearly one crore of our
    people are victims of different forms of Mental illness and of
    whom 20 Lakhs are likely to become chronic.
     Often the victims' entire personality becomes shattered
    due to dysfunctioning of their mental faculty. They drift
    from social mainstream, remain castigated from
    immediate neighborhood, as well as the society at large.
    What they need is not just medical intervention but a
    multiple therapeutic approach to bring them back even
    to a semblance of normal functionality.

    Depression

    • Depression is a serious medical illness. Symptoms can include:


    • Sadness or low mood
    • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
    • Change in weight
    • Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
    • Energy loss
    • Feelings of worthlessness
    • Thoughts of death or suicide
    Depression can run in families, and usually starts between the ages of
    15 and 30. It is much more common in women. Women can also get
    postpartum depression after the birth of a baby.
    what are de addiction centres

    Drug rehabilitation is the process of medical


    or psychotherapeutic treatment for dependency on psychoactive
    substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and street
    drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, heroin or amphetamines. The
    general intent is to enable the patient to confront substance
    dependence, if present, and cease substance abuse to avoid
    the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical
    consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.

    functions of de addiction centres

    Psychological Dependency

    Psychological dependency is addressed in many drug


    rehabilitation programs by attempting to teach the patient new
    methods of interacting in a drug-free environment. In particular,
    patients are generally encouraged, or possibly even required, to
    not associate with peers who still use the addictive
    substance. Twelve-step programs encourage addicts not only to
    stop using alcohol or other drugs, but to examine and change
    habits related to their addictions.

    AIM & OBJECTIVES:

    Aim to design an environment targeted at the patient's psychology


    that helps them feel comfortable while combating from addiction and
    thus propose a suitable design for a therapeutic drug de- addiction
    centre for government medical college and hospital in Kozhikode.
    To explore the different aspects
    of the built environment & "their impact on patient psychology . to
    study the behaviour of drug addicts. . to explore the opportunities of
    making architecture become part of the healing process.
    The proposed de-addiction centre is in such a way that
    family members of the addicted person could also be accommodated
    there. Family support is crucial while treating students, the official
    said. Besides, the centre would also provide counselling to the family
    members on how to deal with an addicted member. Rehabilitation
    programme and other activities are also planned at the centre.
